My name is Dr. Smith, and I am a certified life coach and the founder of DSM Life Coaching, LLC. Since 2019, I’ve been helping clients get clear about what they want, face what’s been holding them back, and build real strategies they can use to move forward with confidence and purpose.

​

I completed my first formal coaching training with Stanford University faculty and the Designing Your Life team, and I maintain membership with the International Association of Professional Life Coaches (IAOP). I’m also listed as a verified professional on Psychology Today, and I hold a PhD in Educational Psychology.

​

Over the years, I’ve worked in crisis intervention, domestic violence advocacy, mental health, trauma and trauma-informed care, higher education, leadership, and professional training. All of these experiences shape the way I coach. They allow me to meet people where they are, help them calm the mental noise, and navigate stress, fear, or uncertainty with a clearer mind and a stronger sense of direction.

I’m proud of the growth and breakthroughs I’ve witnessed in my clients. My goal is always the same: to support people as they create meaningful, lasting change and to remind them that they are far more capable than they often realize.
